After an historic day of cycling Vuelta it's moving slowly to Madrid

A sprinter stage, so Degenkolb it's the favourite but perhaps Argos strenght it's not enough to control the race. Saxo doesn't have any interest in it.

The potential echelons are limited due expected soft wind but who knows

Surely a breakaway stage, unless the Degen boys have another idea, but I think a break will win this.

One of the guys from GreenEdge ftw.
 
Argos still has a full team no?

Could see them the only team interested in pulling today.

I reckon a big group drifting off 10-12 riders.
win by 15-20 minutes...
riders from Lotto, Astana, FDJ, Lampre, Cofidis and Omega to drive this group.

Tape is set..Home from work, settle down with a nice vino (well the weekend is nearing!), feet up, a snack prepared...then catch the last eight minutes the host Spanish Network managed to televise .... "Its been another fast stage" :mad:

You think the race being as it has and featuring a three way bullfight they may have adjusted the broadcasting hours a tad?
